KEM ONE's faces in the latest film by Agnès Varda

21/07/17

The employees of our factory in Saint-Auban are in the cast of Visages Villages, the documentary presented at Cannes by Agnes Varda and JR.

Visages, Villages. For her latest documentary, co-directed with JR, Agnes Varda travelled through France to meet people. The concept : to make stops in the villages and create art installations with JR in order to honour the inhabitants. Thus they highlight the beauty of familiar or derelict places with the super-size pictures directly stuck on the walls by the visual artist JR. By the end of 2015, the two artists came in Saint-Auban, within the Arkema-Kem One factory.

Short-lived works of art created on site (fishes on the water tower, super-size pictures of the teams) and the employees interviews contribute to this touching documentary, selected for Cannes Festival (without competing).
